I agree the missing original and resend seems to be pretty good evidence that locking is not the issue. It's good to eliminate that problem. I haven't read this thread closely, but from what I have seen I don't know the solution. Your setup is somewhat complex with the various layers. It sounds like procmail is doing the right thing and has been for a long time. What is the most recent component you've upgraded or changed? Good luck!
